Hi i am Viknesh,
Actually i am new to Linux envt as i was assigned with a project to analyse the performance of ASSP mail filter engine.
I am using Fedora 7 with KDE3.5.
I need to install a lot of perl modules to run the assp.pl code.
I was trying with all sorts of packages like src.rpm, ixxx.rpm, tar.gz, tar.bz2. All these packages doesnt work exactly.

Then i went for tar.gz files downloaded from CPAN.
I was given a set of instructions to install in the site itself, like:
# gzip -d yourmodule.tar.gz
# tar -xof yourmodule.tar
Then i went to the newly created directory yourmodule(say)
There i typed these commands
# perl Makefile.PL
It got succeeded. Then i am supposed to type two more commands :
# make &
# make test

So when i typed make in the Konsole, I get the following error.

/*

make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/config.h', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.

*/

So i checked for config.h file as given the directory but it was missing.
I don't know why?
Can anyone figure it out and help me with the project?

Hi, welcome to the LQ forums.

Why, BUT WHY on this Earth you are using Fedora7????? :banghead:

If you need older system, then use CentOS 5.5, and if you need stable system, use CentOS 5.5 :cool:

Seriously, you are not going to be able to compile new packages *with newer dependancies) with THAT old system!!!
